Situational leadership theory

The Situational Leadership Model is the idea that effective leaders adapt their style to each situation. No one style is appropriate for all situations. Leaders may use a different style in each situation, even when working with the same team, followers or employees.

Most models use two dimensions on which leaders can adapt their style:

  • "Task Behavior": Whether the leader is giving more direction or giving more autonomy.
  • "Relationship Behavior": Whether the leader is working closely with the follower or more at arms length.
